Things that work (for me)
a day ago
- The author believes in continually improving tools, but lists those that work so well they are considered solved problems, adopting a minimalistic approach to purchases.
- Digital tools: Tuta Mail for privacy-respecting email, Apple Notes for simple synced notes and tasks, Visual Studio Code as the preferred code editor, Trello for project tracking, and Bear Blog as a personal blogging platform.
- Physical tools: Apple Airpods Pro for noise cancelling and audio quality, New Balance 574 shoes for comfort and durability, CeraVe Moisturising Lotion for skin health, Eucerin sunscreen for daily non-oily use, Salt of the Earth deodorant for odor neutrality, and a felted wool hat for thermoregulation.
- Under consideration: Lululemon ABC pants (comfortable but stain-prone) and merino wool t-shirts (non-smelly, soft, but durability concerns).
- The author emphasizes intentional purchasing, replacing old items with new ones, and keeping both digital and physical possessions minimal to avoid clutter.
